U.S. airlines and foreign airlines serving the U.S. saw an all-time high in passengers for 2016.

Traffic jumped from nearly 898 million passengers to nearly 929 million, partly due to another record-setting year in international flights to and from the U.S., according to a Bureau of Transportation Statistics news release.
